Had my swampers for 2 years they are at 50 percent I calculate about 1 more year out of them the price would be right I am originally from the east coast where they do not use *************** studs or traction tires and swampers handle just fine with sipes in them which only cost a extra 5 bucks not exactly out of price range.
They also look so much better I hated having alterrain when I went out to 4x4 events everyone had swampers and mud terrains made mine look like road tires.and I believe where you live snow is either hard or slush you should be fine
